Considering this beer bears my initials it seems quite lazy of me to have not got around to drinking it yet. I agree with Jahills - despite being low joule it still seems rather sweet. Definitely more metallic than most CUB products but really no better or worse than any of their other stuff. Quite chemical and actually quite bitter.

Bright clear golden colour with a white head that didn’t want to hang around for too long. Faint aroma of hops. Taste was pretty bland, front of the palate was a little malt flavour and then a metallic hop finish. This beer is drinkable for the diabetics only.

This beer is low joule but still tastes sweet. Maybe they have added an artificial sweetener and that is the ingredient that makes you feel sick. By the end of this beer i could feel it doing something abnormal to my insides. How does this beer sell?

I would rather take the fat from a good beer, than take the zero flavour crap that this beer is. CUB never cease to amaze me the further i dive into their vast array of beers the more they disgust me. cheers

God and I thought Diet Ale was bad. This is only slightly better. I had one stubbie of it to see what it was like. Glad I did coz I'll never have another. Really, what the hell does CUB think it's doing with so many crap beers on the shelves?

This is truly a tragic waste of everyone's time. Not a palatable beer by any standards. Have a glass of water and save yourself the trouble of opening the bottle.

makes me appreciate every other beer i have ever tasted. zero malt profile, bland hop finish only noticeable because the beer has nothing else

Low joule and no fat! Fanbloodytastic! Goes well with a fatless, wheatless pizza.
